📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

Who needs forests when we could turn everything into cornfields? 🤷🏻‍♂️

There are a few people that are inspirations to almost all scientists that I know, and Jane Goodall was one of them. RIP. 😢

Jane Godall, one of the most important people in natural science, especially in the field of primates, died today at the age of 91. Let us all honor her.

“I think chimpanzees have helped people understand that we are part of and not separated from the animal kingdom, and that has opened the way to having respect for the other amazing beings with whom we share the planet.” —Jane Goodall, @sciam.bsky.social www.scientificamerican.com/article/jane...

We are deeply saddened by the passing of UN Messenger of Peace Dr. Jane Goodall.

Her life’s work championing conservation, humanity and the natural world leaves an enduring legacy.

Our condolences to her family, the Jane Goodall Institute and all who draw hope from her example.

$55 billion EA buyout hands Madden over to investors including Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner

If there’s two things gamers love more than EA, it’s Saudi oil tycoons and Jared Kushner.

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.”

I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt.

And that’s wrong.

Design systems aren’t component libraries—they’re living languages. Rigid adherence to visual rules creates brittle systems that break under contextual pressure. Fluent systems bend without breaking. Michel Ferreira shares The Way of Design Dialects in today’s @alistapart.com.

"Which is your favorite/definitive version of the original Prince of Persia?"

💾As promised-- after 35 years, here's a proper blog post with my thoughts, and the story behind Prince of Persia's multiple 1990s ports.

“It's moments like these that I remind myself: it's okay not to know everything, and it's okay to feel like the people around me are much smarter than I am. … In turn, if you're able to explain concepts that you know well to others, that lifts them up and is incredibly valuable.”

I rather agree on the privacy fronts. I may not like everything Apple does, but it seems to be the only large company that fights for the user. To keep personal computing personal.

“This async-first approach to communication is a very real way to ensure accessibility in the workplace. That may sound like a convenience, but for people with chronic illness, disabilities, or caregiving responsibilities, it’s something closer to a lifeline.”

Any big cat: lynxes, pumas, leopards (snow included obviously 😁), panthers, …, but also smaller ones like Pallas’, servals, black footed, etc 😻😻😻

If you’re of a certain age and experienced this game first time round 1) in the arcades and then 2) on a C64, this should raise a smile. It’s completely bonkers from a tech and design standpoint. (And, unlike the original C64 port, actually has the junctions.)

Climate change is going to make everything terrible.

Vaccine skeptic is not a thing, in the same way that climate change skeptic is not a thing. They’re science deniers and they’re gonna get a lot of people killed.

I am once again asking you to stop sending us money.

But we do need your time. ⏰
